Overview
Side-Opening Hard Shell Rooftop Tent for Trucks, SUVs & Jeeps
Folds up super compact, only 5.0 ft × 4.4 ft × 0.9 ft when closed.
Recommended Capacity:
• 2 adults & 1 child comfortably
• Ideal for midsize trucks, short-bed pickups, SUVs, and Jeeps
• Perfect for overland builds and daily-driven adventure rigs
The Ridgeline Compact™ is a hard shell rooftop tent engineered specifically for overlanders running short-bed trucks, midsize pickups, SUVs, and Jeep platforms.
Most hard shell rooftop tents are long and oversized, often extending past truck beds or crowding shorter rooflines. The Ridgeline Compact™ features a shorter overall footprint designed to fit cleanly within most 5 ft and 5.5 ft truck beds when rack-mounted, while still delivering a full 215 cm (84.6 in) sleeping platform.
It is the ideal rooftop tent for Toyota Tacoma, Jeep Gladiator, Ford Ranger, Colorado, 4Runner, Wrangler, Bronco, and similar overland builds where balance, fitment, and clean lines matter.
Side-Opening Wedge Design Built for Travel
The Ridgeline Compact™ uses a side-opening wedge configuration for aerodynamic highway travel and improved crosswind stability. Deployment takes approximately 45 seconds. Simply unlatch and lift.
The gas-assisted lift system raises the tent along one side, creating excellent headroom and ventilation across the sleeping area. Bedding can remain inside when closed, making teardown fast and efficient during multi-stop overland trips.
Compact length. Full sleeping comfort. No unnecessary overhang.
Hard Shell Strength with Roof Rack Capability
Constructed with a reinforced aluminum hard shell, the Ridgeline Compact™ is built for highway miles, washboard roads, forest service routes, and long-distance travel.
Optional integrated roof rack crossbars allow you to mount additional gear directly to the tent, including:
• Recovery boards
• Lightweight cargo
• Overland storage boxes
• Solar panels
• Traction boards
This makes the Ridgeline Compact™ an ideal solution for truck bed rack systems and full overland platform builds where gear management matters.
